H. Kraatz Oy, Finland - Dexion Storage Machines Reference

Due to an increasing requirement for small parts storage, H. Kraatz made a decision in 2007 to rationalise their storage. Following that decision an extension was built to house two Tornado DT’s.

Solution:With the extension, the Kraatz warehouse area is now 10,300 square metres. In one Tornado DT, two Tornados are set one behind the other, which doubles the storage capacity. At Kraatz the two Tornado DT are placed facing each other so together they provide four Tornado’s capacity at one picking point. The system utilises the entire height of the equipment, 13 meters. With a comfortable working height this improves job safety and ergonomics. In addition the shelving and picking times are shorter due to fast vertical and horizontal movement of the machine.

Significantly improve the efficiency of small product storage and picking.

Having the products come to the picking station can be far more efficient than walking to collect them. Offering closed, safe storage that protects products from dust and light, storage machines are a space saving alternative to shelves.
